Portrait of Eek

Portrait of Eek

Description


I loved this plain close up of our Eek kitty, but wanted to "jazz it up", so I tried various filters & decided on the Fresco in PS7.
Manual settings and no flash.

Thank you Linda, Kerby, & Laurence!! :0) By using the fresco filter it did take away from some of the awesome patterns in his eyes, so glad that you still find them neat looking! :0) Nice to hear from you! :0) #1592598

Thank you so much for all of your exciting and fun comments on this Terry, Jenny, Marsha, Kelly, Ken, & Jill~Makes me happy you all like it & I smile even more because it is of one of our "kids"! :0)
Eek was the name given to him at the Humane Society Marsha. He was in with a brother named Boo. Boo got adopted (we had been on the website)& poor Eek was still there after over 5 months, so we went to visit him to see what the deal was & we found that he was an awesome kitty that needed a home as soon as possible...so off we all went! :0) He'd been there so long, that we didn't want to change his name & it is kind of a fun one that seems to fit him well! :0)
Thanks again!! :0) #1596273
